Edinburgh-based screen-printed textile designer and quilter Katie Charleson will be holding a studio sale where a range of unique wall, bed and lap quilts will be available to buy. She will also be showing new work from her Creative Scotland funded natural dye print project.
Katie's practice emphasises the use of organic natural fibres, environmentally responsible materials, natural dyes, and handmade pigments. She dyes, paints and screenprints all her work by hand in her studio. By combining the processes of printmaking and quilting she makes two-dimensional work feel sculptural, adding depth, movement and tactility.
In 2024-25 Katie received funding from Creative Scotland to undertake a period of research and development in natural dye printing. This has been a fascinating and enriching experience and has led to the development of new work that is produced from natural dye sources, with inks foraged and brewed by Katie herself.
She has exhibited in the UK including her first solo show at Sierra Metro (Edinburgh) and was selected to show her work at Collect 2024 with Craft Scotland. She regularly works on commissions for private and commercial clients.
